resistance is futile

It's futile to race against the money hungry capitalistic machine, but it's not futile to steer your own career into work that's more lucrative or is more enjoyable, be it with our without AI tools.

there will be a lot of paper clips

Often repeated meme doesn’t have any bearing to reality.

The orthogonality thesis sounds like a fun gotcha but if you give it some thought you realise how strange it sounds and the opposite thesis - collinearity thesis is actually correct.

1. Intelligence transfers and compounds

2. Goals of agents are not arbitrary

3. Our goals and agent goals are more likely to be aligned at the deeper level


When primate family produced a super-primate intelligence it sure aligned with the good of all of them.

I mean indsight is 20/20, but saying that is like saying "everyone will just use the best tools". That's not what we see most places in the world for most types of resources.


Deploying SQL changes? Why not just let the application do that on startup. Ofcourse be backward and forward compatible. SQL change only deploy.

"Update something in the cloud" <- What do you mean?

That only works on extremely simple setups and has risks. If you have only a single server, you can stall it. Now, how to roll back?


We try to keep things simple. Everything has risks. No stall, run async, backward compatible. DB handles rollback via transactions. Happy to expand if interested.


having issues with truncated output from deepseek v4 pro through openrouter via pi-harness on ptyxis-terminal using ubuntu

trying reasonix with direct api..


first impression: the tui flickers a lot, unpleasent. very laggy to write in.


Agreed. And the gained time either goes toward 1) more experiments, or 2) leisure, which makes you sharper in the lab and happier overall. Not sure the "I saved $17,000 so far" framing is the most useful way to look at it, but it's a cool project and I love that people are doing this kind of thing.


The future will have LLMs running local at your laptop/devices. If not almost exclusively then at least for 90-95% of the tasks. Speculative decoding is just one technique out of many existing and more to come that will make this even more viable. The gap is closing on both fronts. Software gets faster/more clever. Hardware gets faster and smaller. The single user story is the story. I'm obviously speculating myself, but that's how I see it.


Maybe the end state of computing is not humans learning how to speak to computers, but computers learning how to speak to humans.

Think the movie Her 2013. OS1 it's called.



what about just personal stuff in a syncing interface, what do you use for that?
